👣 #ActiveTravel 👣
Paid visit to Oxford Street. Not to buy anything, you understand but to exercise my right as a freeborn Englishman to wander around aimlessly on the bit that is now, according to some black cab drivers, an act of vandalism worse than anything the Nazis ever did. Let's hope it lasts a thousand years.

When are we going to see direct-vision cab doors on these lethal HGV rigs?
Many of the refuse collection trucks have had them for years, but the construction business seems to be dragging its feet.

We get that tackling #motornormativity is difficult but #ActiveNeighbourhoods are primarily a public health intervention and one which is popular once they’ve bedded in.
Why won’t government make a case for #ActiveTravel & oblige councils to act? @elsieblundellmp.bsky.social @walkridegm.org.uk

A mum and her two kids safely cycling via a floating bus stop in the Netherlands. Any risk of conflict with pedestrians is far preferable to sharing the road with buses.
Watch how the cycle track also prioritises cyclists at side roads before seamlessly continuing into a fietsstraat.

Sooner or later a British town or city is going to go all in on #ActiveTravel and then we’ll see.
My understanding is that the effect of #LowTrafficNeighbourhoods is synergistic, but has anyone yet found out?

I think we worked out that at the current rate of delivery, Greater Manchester’s #ActiveTravel network would be complete some time next century.
This really shouldn’t be as difficult as it plainly seems to be?

It’s so tiring the way every penny of #ActiveTravel funding has to be fought for, and then fought to be retained.
Every penny spent on walking and cycling is returned fivefold. Every penny spent on roads will struggle to break even.

The local MP said he would lobby the government to change it's funding rules so active travel money did not have to be spent on infrastructure projects like this.

#ActiveTravel schemes in West Sussex included the Chichester–Emsworth #ChEmRoute and schemes for the Manhood Peninsula.
Failures to implement them by previous administrations have resulted in diversions, delays and traffic jams as soon as part of the A286 Selsey Road is closed for 7 weeks.

This cheery little @theguardian.com piece about basically every country including UK talking up climate action targets then doing diddly squat reminds me of how London politicians are too often fine words on climate, active travel, car use, but just words. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Four years ago countries made a historic deal to save nature. Is it dead in the water?
So far not a single target of the plan has been met. As negotiators convene for Cop17, the pressure is on to find a way to honour the commitments made at previous summits

Potentially interesting as #ActiveTravel has huge potential as preventative healthcare. But that would require Highways departments, and transport portfolio holders, to understand this and act on it…

There is something in this - if all councillors/MPs hear is the small but noisy minority of voices opposing #ActiveTravel then they’ll assume that this is what everyone thinks.
